Eisho-ji
久留米市山本町２１５５
Known as one of Japan's three great Yakushi (Medicine Buddha) temples, this Soto sect temple is also called the "Momiji-ji" (Maple Temple). It is also the 47th station of the Kyushu 49 Yakushi Reijo (Medicine Buddha Spiritual Pilgrimage) circuit.
History
It was founded by imperial decree of Emperor Tenmu, who prayed for the recovery of Empress Kogyo (Ueno no Zanra). When the main hall was rebuilt in 1877 (Meiji 10), the temple changed from the Tendai sect to the Soto sect.

What visitors say
The grounds have a solemn atmosphere, and as you climb the stairs, you can see highlights such as the Six Jizo statues, the Ni-o guardians, and the 500 Arhats. In autumn, the maple leaves are beautiful, and the observation deck offers a wonderful view. Parking is available near the entrance and within the grounds, but caution is needed as some surrounding roads are narrow.
